It's funny - the quotes from the film are full of profanities, but if I were to put what I really thought of this then I suspect it would get rejected.
So I'll moderate myself. Something the producers of this film should also have done.
I had high hopes. I'd heard of Bill Burr and his style of humour. I'm a 60 year old former Royal Marine with little patience for the painfully PC wokeness of some elements of society. I figured I'd be able to empathise with some of the characters and have a laugh with (and sometimes at) them.
Oh was I mistaken. I thank God that the only similarity I have with any of the male characters is anatomical. They are without exception stupid, spineless bigoted arses.
Their wives/partners are universally shallow, spiteful and manipulative.
The supporting characters are 2 dimensional caricatures.
The entire plot is ridiculous (forgivable in isolation) and populated by walking, talking cliches. The script is lazy and unimaginative. Worse than that, it simply isn't funny. I actually found one part that made me chuckle briefly, and it was a scene in a car where a younger guy was trying to prove how right-on he is with to one particular older guy. I'll leave it at that.
I'm giving it 3 stars because it was well filmed and I'm feeling kind.
But honestly? It's crap. Don't bother.
